The 5G-MeMU workshop is motivated by the key challenges of understanding and optimizing operational 5G and beyond systems and services and conducting 5G-related research. Its goal is to bring together researchers, cellular network operators, equipment vendors, mobile device manufacturers, vertical use case owners, and policymakers, from academia, industry, and government for discussions of the challenges of the 5G ecosystem, centered on practical experiences with 5G and beyond systems and services, and the state-of-the-art 5G and beyond research. This workshop solicits novel contributions to the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends, and new ideas.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Application-Level Performance Evaluation of 5G Networks and 5G Slices
• End-to-End Measurement and Validation Frameworks for 5G KPIs
• Crowd-sourced Data Collection Services for Commercial 5G
• Deployment of Massive Scale IoT Systems on 5G and beyond
• Energy Consumption Analysis and Modeling of 5G and beyond Radio
• Experiences in Designing, Implementing, and Deploying 5G and beyond Testbeds
• Exploration of Open Architectures for 5G and beyond RAN and Core Networks
• Machine Learning for Analyzing and Predicting 5G and beyond Traffic
• Applying large (language) models to the domain of 5G and beyond
• Measurement-driven and ML/AI for 5G and beyond Design and Optimization
• Metrics, Tools, and Testbeds for 5G and beyond Edge
• Performance Evaluation and Optimization of 5G and beyond Multi-access and Multi-connectivity Solutions
• Traffic Models, Tools, and Performance Evaluation of Industry Verticals (eHealth, Transportation, Automation, Smart Cities, etc.) in 5G Networks
• Network-friendly Monitoring of Commercial 5G Networks
• Novel 5G-aware Networked Systems and Applications
• Security of 5G and beyond Systems and Applications
• Techniques for Improving Reproducibility in 5G Measurements
